Divock Origi: I wouldn’t want to mess with this Liverpool player

The Belgian striker has spent the last two seasons getting to know his back line very well in training.

And he reckons there’s one player that stands out as a menacing presence in defence.

Talking to NFL UK as part of a live tour promoting the four 2017 NFL London Games at Wembley and Twickenham later this year, Origi said: “If there was one player I wouldn’t want to be tackled by, it’d be Dejan Lovren. He’s very aggressive."

Origi got to spend the day with NFL stars Kirk Cousins, quarterback of the Washington Redskins, and Jarvis Landy, wide receiver of the Miami Dolphins.
